Introduction

48-Port 10/100 + 4-Port Gigabit Switch with WebView and Power over Ethernet

Chapter 1

Chapter 1:

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the 48-Port 10/100 + 4-Port

Gigabit Switch with WebView and Power over Ethernet.

This Switch will allow you to network better than ever.

The 48-Port 10/100 + 4-Port Gigabit Switch with WebView

delivers non-blocking, wire speed switching for your 10

and 100 megabit network clients, plus multiple options

for connecting to your network backbone. Forty-eight

10/100 ports wire up your workstations, while the four

integrated 10/100/1000 ports connect to other switches

and the backbone at Gigabit speeds. The miniGBIC ports

allow future expansion through alternate transmission

media like optical fiber.

All of the 10/100 ports on the Switch support pre-standard

and IEEE 802.3af standard (802.3af) Power over Ethernet

(PoE) capabilities. Each port can detect connected pre-

standard and 802.3af-compliant network devices, such

as IP phones or wireless access points, and automatically

supply the required DC power.

The Switch can provide DC power to a wide range of

connected devices, eliminating the need for an additional

power source and cutting down on the amount of cables

attached to each device. Once configured to supply

power, an automatic detection process is initialized by the

Switch that is authenticated by a PoE signature from the

connected device. Detection and authentication prevent

damage to non-PoE devices.

The Switch features WebView monitoring and configuration

via your web browser, making it easy to manage the 256

VLANs and up to 8 trunking groups. Or if you prefer, you

can use the integrated console port to configure the

Switch. The non-blocking, wire-speed switching forwards

packets as fast as your network can deliver them.

All ports have automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection.

Each port independently and automatically negotiates the

best speed and whether to run in half- or full-duplex mode.

Head-of-line blocking prevention keeps your high-speed

clients from bogging down in lower-speed traffic and fast

store-and-forward switching prevents damaged packets

from being passed on into the network.

Use the instructions in this User Guide to help you connect

the Switch, set it up, and configure it to bridge your

different networks. These instructions should be all you

need to get the most out of the 48-Port 10/100 + 4-Port

Gigabit Switch with WebView and Power over Ethernet.

Product Overview

Front Panel

The LEDs and ports are located on the front panel of the

Switch.

Front Panel

POWER (Green/Amber) Lights up green to

indicate that power is being supplied to the

Switch. Lights amber to indicate that the Switch’s

power-on-self-test (POST) is in progress. Blinks

amber to indicate that the POST has failed.

LINK/ACT (1-48) (Green/Amber) Lights up

green to indicate a functional 10/100Mbps

network link through the corresponding port

with an attached device that does not use Power

over Ethernet (PoE). Lights up amber to indicate a

functional 10/100Mbps network link through the

corresponding port with an attached PoE device.

Blinks green to indicate that the Switch is actively

sending or receiving data over that port.

LINK/ACT (G1-G4) (Green/Amber) Lights up

green to indicate a functional 10/100Mbps

network link through the corresponding port

with an attached device. Blinks green to indicate

that the Switch is actively sending or receiving

data over that port. Lights amber to indicate a

functional 1000Mbps network link. Blinks green

to indicate that the Switch is actively sending

or receiving data over that port. No amber light

indicated that the link is at 10/100Mbps or there

is no link.

ETHERNET 1-48 These RJ-45 ports support

network speeds of either 10Mbps or 100Mbps,

and can operate in half and full-duplex modes.

Auto-sensing technology enables each port to

automatically detect the speed of the device

connected to it (10Mbps or 100Mbps), and adjust

its speed and duplex accordingly.

The Switch’s 10/100 RJ-45 ports also support the

IEEE 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) standard

that enables DC power to be supplied to attached

devices using wires in the connecting twisted-pair

cable. Any 802.3af-compliant device attached to

a port can directly draw power from the Switch

over the twisted-pair cable without requiring its

own separate power source. This capability gives

network administrators centralized power control

for devices such as IP phones and wireless access

points, which translates into greater network

availability.

For each attached 802.3af-compliant device,

the Switch automatically senses the load and

dynamically supplies the required power. The

Switch delivers power to a device using the two

data wire pairs in the twisted-pair cable. Each

port can provide up to 15.4W of power at the

standard -48 VDC voltage.

To connect a device to a port, you will need to

use Category 5 (or better) network cable.

ETHERNET G1-G4 The Switch is equipped with

four Gigabit RJ-45 ports, two that are shared with

two miniGBIC ports. If a Gigabit miniGBIC port is

being used, the associated RJ-45 port (G3 and/or

G4) cannot be used.

All four ports support auto-negotiation, so the

optimum transmission mode (half or full duplex)

and data rate (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) can be

selected automatically, if this feature is also

supported by the attached device. If a device

connected to one of these ports does not support

auto-negotiation, the communication mode of

that port can be configured manually.

Each port also supports IEEE 802.3-2002

auto-negotiation of flow control, so the Switch

can automatically prevent port buffers from

becoming saturated.

These ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X

operation, so you can use straight-through cables

for all network connections to PCs, servers, or

additional switches.

MiniGBIC (1-2) The Switch is equipped with

two miniGBIC ports that have shared Gigabit

Ethernet ports (G3 and G4) which provide for

the installation of one expansion module. These

ports provide links to high-speed network

segments or individual workstations at speeds of

up to 1000Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet).

To establish a Gigabit Ethernet connection using

a miniGBIC port, you will need to install a MGBT1,

MGBSX2, or MGBLH1 Gigabit expansion module

and use Category 5e cabling or fiber optic

cabling.

To establish a Fast Ethernet connection using a

miniGBIC port, you will need to install a MFEFX1

(100BASE-FX) or MFELX1 (100BASE-LX) 100SFP

Pre-Installation Considerations

Fast Ethernet Considerations

If you are using the Switch for Fast Ethernet (100Mbps)

applications, you must observe the following guidelines:

Full-Duplex Considerations

The Switch provides full-duplex support for its RJ-45

ports. Full-duplex operation allows data to be sent and

received simultaneously, doubling a port’s potential data

throughput. If you will be using the Switch in full-duplex

mode, the maximum cable length using Category 5 cable

is 328 feet (100 meters).

1000BASE-T Cable Requirements

All Category 5 UTP cables that are used for 100Base-TX

connections should also work for 1000Base-T, providing

that all four wire pairs are connected. However, it is

recommended that for all critical connections, or any

new cable installations, Category 5e (enhanced Category

5) or Category 6 cable should be used. The Category

5e specification includes test parameters that are only

recommendations for Category 5. Therefore, the first

step in preparing existing Category 5 cabling for running

1000Base-T is a simple test of the cable installation to be

sure that it complies with the IEEE 802.3ab standards.

Positioning the Switch

Before you choose a location for the Switch, observe the

following guidelines:

Make sure that the Switch is accessible and that the

cables can be connected easily.

Keep cabling away from sources of electrical noise,

power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures.

Position the Switch away from water and moisture

sources.

To ensure adequate air flow around the Switch, be

sure to provide a minimum clearance of two inches

(50mm).

Do not stack free-standing Switches more than four

units high.

Placement Options

There are two ways to physically install the Switch, either

set the Switch on its four rubber feet for desktop placement

or mount the switch in a standard-sized, 19-inch high rack

for rack-mount placement.

Desktop Placement

Attach the rubber feet to the recessed areas on the

bottom of the Switch.

Place the Switch on a desktop near an AC power

source.

Keep enough ventilation space for the switch and

check the environmental restrictions mentioned in

“Appendix C: Specifications” as you are placing the

Switch.

Connect the Switch to network devices according to

the Hardware Installation instructions below.

Attaching the Switch’s Rubber Feet

Rack-Mount Placement

To rack-mount the Switch in any standard 19-inch rack,

follow the instructions described below.

Place the Switch on a hard flat surface with the front

panel faced towards your front side.

Attach a rack–mount bracket to one side of the Switch

with the supplied screws and secure the bracket

tightly.

Attaching the Brackets

Follow the same steps to attach the other bracket to

the opposite side.

After the brackets are attached to the Switch, use

suitable screws to securely attach the brackets to any

standard 19-inch rack.

Mounting in Rack

Connect the Switch to network devices according to

the Hardware Installation instructions below.

Hardware Installation

To connect network devices to the Switch, follow these

instructions:

Make sure all the devices you will connect to the Switch

are powered off.

Connect a Category 5 Ethernet network cable to one

of the numbered ports on the Switch.

Connect the other end to a PC or other network

device.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 to connect additional devices.

If pre-standard or 802.3af-compliant PoE devices are

connected to the Switch’s 10/100 ports, the Switch

automatically supplies the required power.

If you are using a miniGBIC port, then connect a

miniGBIC module to the miniGBIC port. For detailed

instructions, refer to the module’s documentation.

Connect the supplied power cord to the Switch’s

power port, and plug the other end into an electrical

outlet. When connecting power, always use a surge

protector.

Power on the devices connected to the Switch. Each

active port’s corresponding LED will light up on the

Switch.

Uplinking the Switch

To uplink the Switch, connect one end of a Cat 5 (or better)

Ethernet network cable into one of the 4 gigabit ports, and

then connect the other end of the cable into the peripheral

device’s uplink port. MDI/MDIX will automatically detect

the speed and cable type.

The hardware installation is complete. Proceed to “Chapter

4: Configuration using the Console Interface”, for directions

on how to set up the Switch.

System PoE Configuration

The Power Configuration screen allows you to set the PoE

power allocation from the Switch to connected devices.

System PoE Configuration

The Switch’s power management enables total Switch

power and individual port power to be controlled within a

configured power budget. Port power can be automatically

turned on and off for connected devices, and a per-port

power priority can be set so that the Switch never exceeds

its allocated power budget. When a device is connected

to a port, its power requirements are detected by the

Switch before power is supplied. If the power required

by a device exceeds the power budget of the port or the

whole Switch, power is not supplied.

Port PoE Status

The Power Port Status screen allows you to view the current

PoE settings for each port on the Switch.

Power Port Status

Ports can be set to one of three power priority levels:

critical, high, or low. To control the power supply within

the Switch’s budget, ports set at critical or high priority

have power enabled in preference to those ports set at

low priority. For example, when a device is connected to a

port set to critical priority, the Switch supplies the required

power, if necessary by dropping power to ports set for a

lower priority. If power is dropped to some low-priority

ports and later the power demands on the Switch fall back

within its budget, the dropped power is automatically

restored.

Port PoE Configuration

The Power Port Configuration screen allows you to set the

PoE settings for each port. Select the Edit action and use
